My Project

Sensory rooms provide a space where students can feel safe to explore and experience a calm environment.

Sensory rooms provide improved focus, reduce stress, and enhance emotional regulation and increased social interaction.

This is especially beneficial for students with sensory processing difficulties or neurodiversity. Students are provided with a safe and supportive environment to regulate their senses and emotions. This promotes a more positive learning experience for everyone.

Providing sensory stimuli helps students regulate their senses and manage sensory overload. This soothing and calming environment can help students manage anxiety, stress, and other strong emotions. This leads to calmer behavior and improved focus.
